RED TEAM VRF LIMITATIONS AND TACTICS
COURSE AND MISSIONS OBJECTIVES:
vTLP course main goal is to train Blue forces in advanced complex scenarios. This course is built and planned in order to make Mission Commanders and learn best tactics to fight against an enemy force taking into account available assets and resources.
Having said this. Red team has to focus in providing best training to Blue forces, not being the best pilot or team in the world killing as many blues as possible.
You will receive, 3-4 days prior to mission day, some coordination documents in order to create your flights and plan your tactics.
One participant will be Red Team coordinator and will give you all information need to fly the mission properly.
Normally Red team AOR will be west of NTTR which include 1 MOBs, Tonopah test and range airbase.
Red Team platforms and weapons load will be normally, F-16C,F-18C,F-14B(NO PHOENIX MISSILE) Aggressor carrying AIM-120B and AIM 7 or similar.
Mission limitations will be:
-
Red Caps will be minimum 25 NM from FLOT (Separation line between east and west map, you will see in the map theatre)
-
You are not allowed to shoot any blue aircraft inside (blue territory).
-
You do not have BCA (border crossing authority) that’s mean you are not allowed fly through Blue territory.
-
You must comply with KILL REMOVAL PROCEDURE.
-
Your planning must be in accordance with objective to protect or attack. (For instance, if you have to protect one MOB, is not good to plan 5 caps along of the AOR, concentrate to elaborate best MOB defending tactics). That’s what blue team is expecting from Red Forces.
-
NEVER LEAVE any fighter aircraft flying with AI. If some pilots have a problem and exit from the aircraft, leader has to command him to land immediately.
-
It is very important that you comply with time on station (please do not go for AAR if you not are able to be at time on your cap or push point, otherwise you will degrade mission for Blue and VRF staff will take this action into account for next missions and courses.
In other worlds: PLAN SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE AND DO NOT FORGET MAIN COURSE GOAL!!!!!
